Where is the spark?

Dh and I have been together 6 years now, and married for 4(in may). We have a 3.5 year old and an 8.5 month old girls. We go through our ups and downs as I'm sure most relationships do but lately I just don't feel that "fire" between us at all. We had a heart to heart about 2 weeks ago about our relationship and my needs. Things were "okay" for a few days and then back down to the slump. How do you keep things alive? I'm just afraid were going to drift apart...

We had a down time that lasted probably 2-3 years. Keep talking about it. Don't nag, but an open line of communication is the best way to get through this situation. We will have been together 9 years this year, and things are getting better. Just because things are bad now, doesn't mean they will stay bad. It's hard to keep that spark alive with little ones, though.
